SAINT LEO, Fla. – The Saint Leo
Department of Athletics has announced the 2013 nominees who will be
inducted into the National College Athlete Honor Society.
Twenty-three student-athletes will be inducted in this year’s

The National College Athlete Honor Society is the first national
scholar-athlete society to honor collegiate student athletes who
have excelled in both the classroom as well as in athletic
competition. Chi Alpha Sigma recognizes college students who
received a varsity letter in their sport while earning a 3.50 or
higher cumulative GPA after five full time semesters of
enrollment.

Chi Alpha Sigma’s purposes are as follows: To encourage
and reward high academic scholarship of college athletes at
four-year accredited colleges and universities. To recognize
outstanding academic achievement by intercollegiate varsity letter
winners. To encourage good citizenship, moral character, and
friendship among the high academic achievers in college athletics.
To recognize and honor the individual athlete, his/her team, sport,
athletic department, and college or university. And to mentor
and to provide leadership to other athletes.

The 2013 NCAHS Induction Ceremony will take place at a reception
on April 3, 2013, at Kafe Kokopelli located in Dade City,
Fla. The reception is set to begin at 6 p.m.
